Popis: | How might the question of contemporary urban change be approached from an ethnographic perspective? Before engaging with the weighty questions of, say, gentrification or deindustrialization, it requires, at a very elementary level, starting from the premise that every city, however defined, is a dynamic place embedded in and shaped by multiple historical contexts, be these socioeconomic changes, technological innovations, shifts in public discourse or fluctuating fads. While this may sound like a truism, the fact of the matter is that many of the world’s cities are not perceived – at least in the eyes of the West – to be dynamic. Rather, they are lodged in a perpetual catch-up game, compelled to imitate a select group of trendsetters. |
